You'll also need to bear in mind that, as you've already said, So in the event you make your own you will have to make 1 angle cut, per mitre you need to do for this project... this option would probably be best suite projects where you have lots of cuts of the same angle....this is...

That sort of thing would no doubt do the job, but it only cuts to 115mm, so depending on how big the skirting is...... Also be careful when setting up the angle against the angle fix as it is possible to move its angle.

The trend anglefix is a great piece of kit :!: ...... Use it to set the angle of the mitre saw your using, fit it into/around the angle your fiting to and then put the metal blade on it along the side of your saw blade. It works so that whatever angle you fit it into the blade will align...

I think it normally means that if you half fill a bucket with water, then when you add in plaster, it'll fill the bucket...... (half water + half plaster = full bucket of wixed plaster?!?! mix it to a consistancy of whipped cream, i usually do it so when you lift the paddle out, there is...

I got one of these http://www.screwfix.com/prods/65073/Cleaning/Workshop-Vacuums/DeWalt-Corded-Cordless-Site-Vacuum works on both mains and the dewalt/B&D batteries 12-18V, so it's handy for the car too! picks up everything, wet or dry - brick/plasterboard/wood dust very handy, check out...

Neds, The 1/4"Hex bits can be quite fragile, I normally use 2.5 or 3mm and they can stap very easily.

VERY True, the Star Trek type has the ABC - Which takes getting ued to, that said i'm pretty bad on a normal qwerty keyboard :lol:

John, At last, i've been waiting for this moment..... You gave me loads of advice last year about my decking project, so now it's time to repay the favour !! :) I have a Dymo LetraTag - think thats how you spell it, it looks like a phazor from star trek :shock: - i shouldn't know that ...

you could make the framework of the shelf, less the side pieces. screw down the chipboard top then fix it all to the side pieces which are morticed into the stiles.

Hope this explains what i tried to say, just make sure the faces to be glued are smooth, put a line of glue down one, and slide the two together to get a bit of suction then line it up and clamp/screw the two together. no need to cut anything fancy as the glue/screws will hold and the shelf...

would you be able to counter bore the screws slightly, cut some plugs from the side attached to the wall, then plug the screws on the faceside? you could use small panel pins fin the spacers, sink them with a parrellel punch and fill the holes.

just been playing on the sagulator, and found this in the notes section... "7. This calculator can also be used to measure beam deflection. Because beams are typically positioned on edge, use "thickness" to represent beam depth and "depth" to represent the thickness of the beam. The shelf...

M/T joints in 1 1/4 sqr PAR, is no problem. You'e right CLS is not 'joinery grade' but to be fair, neither is chipboard or OSB :) however, from a cookoo's point of view it is strong, and could be planned down and finished nicely. :arrow: and at no point did i say 'you should', 'thats...

I Must be doing something wrong, i get 15.67 mm total sag using the dimensions stated, and a point load of 40kgs?!?!? thats using 12mm OSB(min stiff), floating, and no stiffner. 35x35 on it's own gives 2.15 mm?!? Also? 120x25?? are you sure? two of those side by side is nearly a floor...

i just reread what i typed, it looks a bit 'in your face - sorry - not meant to :oops: I would have a look in he yellow pages for timber merchants ( i have one local in my region that can cut that sort of thing to match, so i'm guessing you would have similar. Not sure if...

Hello, and Welcome!! Have you just gone around looking for stuff to match, or have you taken a bit in with you and asked if they can make some specially? Depending on your skills/tools/daring-do personality, you could make your own on a router table... trend do a whole host of cutters...

:shock: A bit harsh! There are nicer ways to put it! Athough i must admit, he has a point! Double check the weight, or consider using something bigger. I quite often use lengths of 3X2 CLS, and plane it down and square it off, only 59p p/m. Although sometimes they can be a bit ropy.

there wouldn't be any fixings, the whole lot would be glued. if you want to use pocket hole screws you could use your original design.

thats probably how i would join the top to the stiles, same joint you've got but turned 90 degrees -IMO, better at holding the weight. Feet could be as high as you want, but the higher you make them the more 'top heavy' it would likely become. just depends on what you like the look of! - the...
